This resource builds on & extends what you've learned in “Introduction to lighting" It's takes a more in-depth look at cameras, lenses & lighting & how to achieve that "film look" courtesy of expert help from three former Heads of Cinematography at the National Film & TV School. So turbo charge your moviemaking and get ready for your first Oscar. 

With experts from the BBC & ITV and the NFTS here you'll explore the behaviour of video cameras and how they manage the recording of light (images), and what technologies, techniques, codes and conventions need to be understood in order to manually operate a camera professionally.

Lighting is the difference between a pro and amateur. It tells story, sets emotions and mood, reveals action. Our experts from BBC Drama, the USA, Sky Studios, the BSC and the ASC all give you the key knowledge. Without these your moving images, whether doc or film - will look awful, look flat, and engage no-one.

The sound you record with your moving images is just as important as the quality of the pictures. This resource is all about ensuring that happens and thanks to our experts from the BBC, ITN News and from the School of Audio Engineering and AMPAS, you'll get sound advice.
